Bloody details (quite literally) emerge in the charging document concerning the most recent double shooting in Brooklyn Center, no stranger to double shootings. I previously reported on the incident based on jail roster info, click here. Police found a shooting victim in the parking lot of a chiropractic clinic and then backtracked his trail of blood to......Checker's restaurant, where they found a pistol with its slide locked to the rear, apparently jammed. The victim had been shot in the face. He claimed not to know who shot him but admitted it was a dispute over drugs. Police also located Kenneth Dashon Sullivan, standing just inside the door of the SuperAmerica. Sullivan had been shot in the mouth. Despite some understandable difficulty speaking, Sullivan informed police he'd been with his cousin, Tawann Lamar Hunter, when they drove to the parking lot to score weed. The 2-year-old son of Sullivan's girlfriend was seated in the middle of the back seat The criminal complaint goes into much more detail and readers can tackle it for themselves. The shooting victim is going to lose one of his eyes. I'll mention that. Four shots were fired inside the vehicle near the child and a wrestling match took place over the pistol.
